A LIST HAS REPRODUCED A MESSAGE EXPRESSING DOUBTS ON THEAVAILABILITY OF OUR CORPORA (SPOKEN PENINSULAR, WRITTENARGENTINIAN AND WRITTEN CHILEAN) FOR ANONYMOUS FTP USERS ALOLA@LLLF.UAM.ES

AS BOTH FERNANDO SANCHEZ AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN RECEIVINGQUERIES ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THAT STATEMENT, I BEG WILLINGPERSONS TO REDISTRIBUTE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO ANYINTERESTED LIST:

ALL THREE CORPORA ARE STILL AVAILABLE VIA ANONYMOUS FTPIN THE LABORATORIO DE LINGUISTICA INFORMATICA AT UAM(UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE MADRID).

IF YOU HAVE HAD TROOUBLES WITH GETTING ANY OF THEM ISBECAUSE THEY RESIDE IN A SMALL SUN COMPUTER THAT IS USEDFOR HEAVY PROCESSING AND THE NUMBER OF ANONYMOUS VISITORSIS VERY RESTRICTED IN NUMBER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FTPSOFTWARE DOES NOT REPORT THIS FACT AND SOME VISITORS TENDTO LEAVE OPEN CONNECTIONS FOR DAYS. ANYWAY, FRUSTRATED FTPERSSHOULD TRY TO MAIL US ({FERNANDO,FMARCOS}@MARIA.LLLF.UAM.ES)EXPLAINING THEIR DIFFICULTIES BEFORE POSTING A MESSAGE TO ALIST.

PLEASE, TRY AGAIN, AS THERE IS ONLY ONE VISITOR AT THEMOMENT (WEDNESDAY, 12 9:50 A.M. SPANISH TIME).

THE EASIEST WAY, HOWEVER, IS TRYING

HTTP://WWW.LLLF.UAM.ES/

OR MY PERSONAL PAGE, AS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE, AND GOTO OUR FTP SERVICES.
